The dude is an absolute beast. I've been lucky enough to have witnessed the majority of his playing career not only with the Vikings, but at Oklahoma as well.
Quick anecdote. Right before the 2007 NFL draft, there were rumors that Peterson's stock was slipping because of all the various injuries that he had in college (thus being viewed as not very durable). Never before or since had I wished so hard for a player to fall to the Packers (who I believe picked 16th that year). Well, Peterson did fall, all the way down to seven and right in the Vikings laps. I consoled myself with the fact that it was unrealistic that he'd fall that far, and that one of either Marshawn Lynch (12th) or Darrelle Revis (14th) would fall to us. The Packers ended up drafting Justin Harrell. Who you ask?
Exactly.
